Though reviled by its creators, the elven dish nutriabh is apparently a delicacy among dwarves. And so a path to gwyfencha is opened; may your nose survive the trek.

Report Back to Doireann

From what you've learned from Sara, it seems that their forge is indeed capable of producing the Scalecinder that Doireann needs to fix the Arborheart. However, you first need to try and appease the Brokkr to try and get him to look past his prejudice and allow you to take some of the material to help her. Your best shot at this is an elven dish called nutriabh which Sara claims Brokkr seems to like but probably will not admit to it.

Obtain the Ingredients for Nutriabh

Apparently, it's not the elves' favorite dish. However, if the dwarves like it, that's good enough for us. Despite not liking it, Doireann will agree to make this dish if it means having even the slightest chance to heal the Arborheart. She'll ask you to help her by procuring its ingredients. To no surprise, what you need for it are rotten apples and rotten fish.

If you've been keeping an Apple or any of your fish in your pack, you should check them out just in case they've already spoiled. Otherwise, get some in your pack and then rest on a bench for a few days until they get spoiled. You can find apples randomly just outside of the Sacred Arbor, and fish in most bodies of water.

NOTE: If you have to make an apple or fish rot, check if you or any of your Pawns have the Stasis Augment active. If you do, be sure to turn it off or remove that Pawn from your party as it increases the time it takes for food items to get spoiled. In this situation, also make sure to not have a Pawn with the Logistician Specialization in the party, as they may craft your apples and fishes with other ingredients while you're trying to wait for them to rot.

Deliver the Ingredients to Doireann

When you're ready with them, head back to Doireann and give them to her. Afterward, you'll automatically get transported with her outside and you'll see her trying her best to not belch out whatever she had for breakfast trying to make this horrendous dish. After she finishes the concoction, she'll give you a Ferrystone so that you might use it to go to Brokkr's Smithy posthaste.

Follow Doireann

It's your choice whether to use the Ferrystone or not. Doireann will follow you wherever you go so you can also just save it and get to Bakbattahl on foot or by Oxcart. Whichever you choose, head to to Brokkr's Smithy with her and speak to Sara. The two will get acquainted and you'll deliver the nutriabh to the apprentice.

Follow Sara

A lot of following for this quest. This time you'll have to follow the running Sara to the outskirts of Bakbattahl. Once you're outside the village, you'll be making a sharp right turn up the hill before the bridge to get to the Stragglers' Cave. Inside you'll find Brokkr who'll be initially mad at his apprentice for bringing an elf to him. Sara will interrupt his outburst and Doireann will get the chance to give him the dish she prepared. 

Gather Plenty of Scalecinder

Sara will interrupt his outburst and Doireann will get the chance to give him the dish she prepared. He'll appear to still not be for the idea and claim to take the dish to throw it away. In the meantime, you'll take the chance to enter the cave and get as many Scalecinders as you can. You'll see them as green powder lying about. You can take the time and loot the whole cavern if you want to. Don't forget to break any breakable objects you find to get any Scalecinders that might be hiding under them. When you're done, head back toward the cave exit and tell Sara that you're finished. You can give as many of the Scalecinders as you want to Doireann and she'll thank you, Sara, and even Brokkr before heading back to the Sacred Arbor to commence healing the sacred tree. This completes the quest.
